The day my twin brother died, he left me a special gift. It was through this gift that I gained entrance to the world's most prestigious school. There is one catch, however. To enter, I have to become a boy. Or at least, pose as one. (Inverse Harem Manga)

My
eyes still felt heavy as hell when I came to, and it took awhile
before I could open them completely. Even then, my vision was still a
bit blurry. My ears though, were pretty much back to normal, as a
myriad (in my opinion) of voices buzzed around me.

"She's
a girl! She's a girl! She's a girl!!"

"Watanabe-sensei,
what is the meaning of this?"

God,
I thought. This is giving me a headache...

"She's
a girl! She's a girl! She's a girl!!"

I
wanna sleep...

"Heehee,
this is great! I get to room with a WO-MAN!"

"She's
a girl! She's a girl! She's a girl!!"

Perverts...

"I
knew there was something scary about him, er..her..."

"She's
a girl! She's a girl! She's a girl!!"

Yeah
well, you're scary too, whoever you are.

"Now
hold your horses boys, it wouldn't be fair to explain everything
while she is still unconscious. Please be patient."

"She's
a girl! She's a girl! She's a girl!!"

Finally,
I couldn't take it anymore. All that blabbering and buzzing...and who
in the world is that squealing kid?! I sat up quickly, clutched the
ends of my blanket with my fists, and shouted, "Will all of you
please SHUT UP!!!"

The
blabbering and the buzzing stopped immediately, and all heads turned
towards me. It was just then that I realized that instead of the
myriad of people I initially expected, there were only six other
people in the room--Watanabe-sensei, Little Kid, Smirk Boy, Silver
Hair, Scaredy-Cat, and that Soulless Bastard.

What
really sucked was that it even took longer for me to realize (after
seeing that they were all staring at my upper body rather than my
face) that I was still in my chemise. "Perverts!" I felt my
face turn red as a tomato as I quickly slid under the blanket once
more.

I
could hear Watanabe-sensei chuckling as he made his way towards me.
"I'm sorry about that, Sakura-san. You'll have to excuse them.
They're all boys after all. It's not everyday they get to see a girl
in her underwear."

From
under the blanket, I pursed my lips tightly. That is SO
reassuring, Sensei, I thought sarcastically.

"Geez,
Sensei," Said another voice, which I thought belonged to Smirk
Boy, "Don't act all so self-righteous. You're a man too!"

"That
I am. But don't forget that I am a doctor too. I've already seen more
than just the chemise."

"Oh
wow, really?! I want to become a doctor too!"

I
stiffened in my place, the heat coming to my cheeks intensifying
tenfold. Is this really how males think all the time?!

"Stop
that, all of you! You're going to scare her!" Somehow, hearing
that soft tenor voice impugned my previous thought. I could hear a
shift of footsteps, and it seemed as if the owner of the voice was
walking closer to where I was.

Slowly
and carefully, I let down the blanket I held, and soon found myself
staring into kind cobalt blue eyes. It was Silver Hair, and he was
holding my blazer and dress shirt out to me. "Here you go,
Miss." He said, smiling at me gently. He then stood up and faced
the other males in the room. "Alright guys, time to face the
wall! Let her get dressed!"

Smirk
Boy glanced at the others around him. "You heard Aiya, guys.
Turn around." Despite saying that, he didn't make a move to do
so.

"Same
goes for you, Satoshi. ESPECIALLY you."

"You're
cruel." The other boy said, lifting up his arms behind his head.
The weird thing was, he didn't look too disappointed nor did the
smirk fade away from his face.

"But
why, Aiya-chan?" Little Kid chirped in, his wide and curious
sapphire eyes glancing towards me every now and then. "We see
each other get dressed all the time!"

"This
time, it's different Dai." Silver Hair said. I marveled at how
he managed to be so patient when I, on the other hand, would have
probably beaten the kid to a pulp already. "She's a girl."

"But--"
The curious kid was suddenly interrupted when somebody beside him
shifted. All of us (yes, including me) focused our attention upon the
Soulless Bastard, who suprisingly had already turned himself around.

"Yuki-chan?"

"Let's
just get this thing over with," Was the redhead's only answer.
His simple statement had practically shut all the males (yes,
including Watanabe-sensei) up. I was grateful at the Soulless
Bastard, just a tiny bit of course. I still hadn't forgiven him for
being so rude.

As
the boys turned around (FINALLY!), I quickly put on the white
dress shirt and the dark blue blazer. A lot of women might have loved
to switch places with me right now, sitting up on a bed almost half
naked in front of six gorgeous males. If you thought that I would do
the same thing, you're wrong. I WOULD switch places with them.
I was never fond of the idea of having males around in my unclothed
moments. Even Sakuya was not allowed in the room while I was
dressing. I pulled the blanket off me, and sighed in relief that I
was still wearing my black dress trousers. If at that time I found
myself not wearing anything in my lower body, who knows what kind of
chaotic things I might have caused. No doubt it would be a murder
spree, I thought. Starting with these six here.

As
you may have probably noticed already, I am not your average
girl-next-door. And I'm not only talking about the Kala I
accidentally got from my twin brother. Though many people would think
of me as a nice girl, I am actually very cynical inside--I get easily
annoyed and mad at even the smallest of things. I hate this side of
me, and thus I choose to be quiet and just smile and grin so that
people will not notice this trait of mine. I don't want them to be
hurt just because of my bad personality, that's all.

In
addition, I don't particularly care about anything girls my age are
crazy about. Anything that is, except for my academics. For as long
as I could remember, I've always focused on my academics, as I know
that is something I can invest on without having to worry about it
taken away from me in the future. Not like boys, friends, and love.
Those can be taken away at the time when you least expect it. They
can be taken away at the time when you have already invested so much
and have been made vulnerable. I learned that hard lesson when I lost
Sakuya, and I don't intend to be taught that lesson again.

Ah,
I think I'm ready now. I looked up at the six males whose back were
still facing me. "I'm done."

All
six of them turned, and after they did so I noticed the shocked
expressions that immediately came over their faces.

I
stared back at them in confusion. "What?"

"Whoa,"
Smirk Boy whistled. "I never knew a dress shirt and a blazer
could change appearances so well!"

Little
Kid walked over to me, rubbing his eyes with his two hands. He then
peered at me again. He blinked, rubbed his eyes, then peered at me
again. It seemed as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. To be
honest, he looked really cute, looking incredulous and all that.
Finally, he lifted a finger and pointed at me. "She...!! He...!!
Er...she turned into a boy!! And...and without even using a Sera or a
Kala!!"

I
raised a fist and glared at him. "Not like you are any less, you
bastard!"

The
other males seemed taken aback at my sudden outburst. I don't blame
them, because I was taken aback as well. My hands automatically flew
towards my mouth, though that didn't help much as it was too late to
take the words back.

I
backed up a bit towards the bed, though I knew I was pretty much
trapped under the intense stares of the six who stood before me.
"Um...I...er..." So much for keeping quiet.

"Oh,
but that's good Sakura-san. A fiery personality is just what one
needs to survive in this school. Especially one with your condition."

Silver
Hair turned towards the doctor. "I believe it's time for you to
explain, Sensei."

"I
would, Aiya-kun. But I think it's only fair that you should all
introduce yourself to the little lady first."

"Oh,
that's right! How very rude of us!" Silver Hair turned towards
me. Once again, I felt myself blushing madly and melting into butter
upon seeing the beautiful smile upon his lips. "Hello Miss. My
name is Aiya Youhei." He then started to gesture towards the
other males in the room, starting with the Little Kid. "This is
Dai Suzuki. As you can see, he's the youngest one in the group."

Dai,
as I will now call him, grinned and waved at me enthusiastically.
"Hello!"

"Ouch,"
Satoshi winced, obviously faking a sad expression. "You just had
to introduce her to my bad qualities first, Aiya."

"Of
course, it's for her own safety," The silver haired boy said
good naturedly. He then turned back to me, and tilted his head
towards the Soulless Bastard. "Over there is Naoyuki Tomomi. At
first glance, he's seen to be the most silent one and kind of the
sulkiest one in the group, but of course first impressions don't
last, ne?" He smiled.

I
looked over to the boy who was leaning quietly against the wall. His
eyes were closed, and his arms were crossed against his chest. For a
moment, I thought he was sleeping, rather peacefully even. But I knew
for a fact that he was wide awake, and that thought brought me back
to that time I bumped into him.

"Yes,"
I said, nodding. He was, of course, the resident physician of
Serakala Academy. He was also one who was responsible from bringing
me here into this mess. But then again, I can't blame everything on
him. I did agree to do this, after all.

I
blinked. Oh, that's right. I hadn't even introduced myself yet. "It's
Sakura," I started. "Sakura Hakufu. Though in this school,
I will be known as Sakuya Hakufu."

There
was a brief moment of silence as the boys stared at each other for a
moment. Honestly, I had no idea what was going through in their
minds, but relief soon came over me as they all (except for Naoyuki,
of course) grinned at me.

"SA-KU-YA-CHAN!"
I was quite taken by surprise as Dai skipped over to me and hugged me
around the waist.

"And
as roommates," Satoshi added, placing his arms behind his head.
"Our first rule is to never call each other with our surnames."

I
stiffened slightly with that statement. Now that's something that's
going to take getting used to. I don't really call anyone without
honorifics, except for Sakuya. But hey, I'm the newbie here, right?
I've got no choice but to follow their rules. No honorifics, huh? So
that means...

I
looked over at the five boys from left to right. "Dai. Aiya.
Iori. Satoshi. Naoyuki."

Aiya
smiled, then looked over at his companions. "Well, one more
time?"

Satoshi
and Iori pulled out another two sets of party poppers, and Dai pushed
the rolling table with a cake in front of me.

POP!
POP!

"WELCOME
TO SERAKALA ACADEMY, NEWBIE!"

For
some reason, I felt something swell inside of me. I had no idea what
it was exactly, but I do know was that it felt good. I straightened
up, placed my arms to my sides, and bowed. "Thank you, everyone.
It is a pleasure to meet all of you."

And
yes, I did not faint this time.

Author's Notes:

Heya everyone! Here's the 3rd installment of the series! Although I do know the story is progressing quite slowly, I still hope you would all enjoy reading it. In any case, I promise the plot will pick up in the next chapters. Also, I'd like to remind you that I changed Yuki's appearance slightly, as I realized that his initial description didn't exactly fit with what I had in mind. Now his hair is wavy, and his eyes are emerald green in color instead of apricot.
